Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 09 September 1906

 Item
Identifier: Coll-14/9/12/25
Scope and Contents

Cecil writes that he hopes Lord Middleton will buy 'McNeil' as he would suit his mares at Applecross and describes the Middletons' tour around the West Highlands of Scotland to view the crofters' ponies. He reports that a half-Welsh, half-Hackney horse cross has provided successful at Baron Schroder's in Strathcarron and at Guisachan. He is surprised to learn that none of the crossbred ponies are fetching a higher price in the market than the old crofters' breed of ponies.

Letter to James Cossar Ewart from Lord Arthur Cecil, 01 December 1912

Identifier: Coll-14/9/18/81
Scope and Contents

Cecil confirms details of the transport of the cow in calf to his Jersey bull from Southampton to Glasgow.
